PIC 4095 clearly shows the inner hub disengaged with the friction disks by about one inch. Picture 4095 clearly shows one of the major problems but I did not realize it until I took the steering clutch fully apart. I expected to find the 8 friction disks and the 8 steel plates wasted along with a worn out pressure plate. Tear Down and Diagnosis: That’s why I disassembled and removed the left steering clutch for inspection and repairs. Last year it started slipping more and more and it did not fix itself. Then sometimes it seemed to fix itself and work properly for a while but then would start slipping again. One thing however that I could not figure out, until now, was why sometimes, intermittently, the left track steering clutch would slip. Maybe have 150 or so hours, if that, on the new engine rebuild. Dozer only gets occasional use for maintaining the property. I have performed all the periodic maintenance and adjustments over the years, including the free play in the steering levers and the brake adjustments to keep everything else in proper working order. Had the local John Deere heavy construction equipment dealership completely overhaul the engine soon after I purchased it. The Message Board has helped me along the way with various issues so I wanted to give back with pictures and commentary that may help others.Ĭheck back for more updates and pictures as I continue the tear down and repairs.Ģ010C Steering Clutch Repair - Failure Analysis – Unexpected Findings!īackground: Purchased my 2010C dozer some 25 years ago. Hope the pictures help others that may be facing a tear down like this in the future. (Click on the thumbnail pictures to bring them to full size) Little by little the sprocket came off the three studs and I was able to slide it off. I would tighten it up then would hit the head of the shaft with a sledge. I had to use a large clamp to keep the arms from flying off but it worked. As you can see in the pictures my puller was undersized. The other major challenge so far was getting the sprocket off. Splitting the track took a lot of time, lots of mechanical muscle, heat and a large sledge. Had major challenges to overcome in the process. Please give me some feedback as to the quality of the video resolution and audio and if it played OK.įinally got started on the tear down to repair the left steering clutch. Hope to document the process on the Messageboard as I get into the repair. Am I missing any possibilities?Īppreciate any feedback or suggestions as I attempt repairs having never been into the steering clutch area other than the top access plate for keeping the steering clutches and brake bands in proper adjustments. Transmission fluid level is at the full mark. The problem occurs in all forward and reverse gears and occurs in High and Low ranges. The dozer easily spins donuts in the opposite direction. I believe the left steering clutch/pressure plate assembly needs to be replaced now as the left track will not move very much, if at all, when the right steering lever is pulled back. Being new to the to the JDcrawlers Messageboard I thought I would introduce everyone to my 1963 JD 2010 C with a 6-way hydraulic blade with a short 40 second video clip taken a few weeks ago of us working hard in the hills that can be viewed at this link:
